How it's used
Refers specifically to biological samples that have been preserved for scientific study or display. While it can technically apply to any organism, it is most frequently used in the context of insects, plants, or taxidermy. The term carries a formal, academic tone, so it is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing a museum visit or a hobby like entomology.
